The revelation comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran following the killing of top Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani.

OMG, what's up with Trumps comments on Iran 
?! I mean, I get why people would want to downplay the whole situation, but come on! It sounds like he's basically saying that US officials told him everything was cool in Iran, and now he's just going to roll with it? That's not exactly how diplomacy works, right? 
I'm also super curious about what he means by "good thing"
. Is he seriously suggesting that the killings and executions of protesters are a good thing? Like, no way 
! Protests for change is something we should be supporting all over the world.
This whole thing just highlights how unpredictable Trump's presidency has been, and I'm not even sure what to think anymore
. Can someone please just give me a straight answer from the White House?

. Can someone please just give me a straight answer from the White House? Still can't believe what I'm reading... President Trump saying that US officials told him killings in Iran had stopped? Like, how does that even work? 
One minute you're escalating tensions with Iran after Soleimani's killing, next you're hearing from officials that protests have magically stopped? It reeks of misinformation. And to say it's a "good thing"? Really? 
Doesn't Trump know what's going on in the world? Or is he just trying to deflect attention from his own failures? Either way, this statement is super sketchy and doesn't sit well with me... I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one ... Trump's comment about the killings in Iran stopping is pretty out of touch, considering how volatile things are over there right now 
. I mean, even if US officials did tell him that, isn't it kinda his job to care about human rights and stuff? It seems like a pretty weak move from him, especially after all the backlash he's gotten for Soleimani's killing .
It's also weird that he's framing this as a "good thing"
. Doesn't he know that Iran is already super sensitive about its internal issues? And doesn't he care about the potential consequences of his words on ordinary Iranians who are just trying to live their lives? It's like, you can be tough on foreign policy, but don't go soft on human rights, man . Can't we just get some clarity from him on what's going on here instead of these vague statements?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Trump's statement about the killings in Iran stopping... like, isn't that kinda something you'd think is a good thing? But at the same time, it sounds really suspicious and kinda bad. I mean, we all know how things went down with Soleimani's death, right? It was super divisive and it felt like a huge escalation in tensions between the two countries.I'm just wondering if anyone thought that through, you know? Like, did they actually believe that the killings had stopped and that everything was okay?
I highly doubt it. And Trump's just kinda... going with it, saying that it's a "good thing" like everything is hunky dory again. It's really concerning to me.I think we need to be way more careful about how we're interpreting these situations and not jumping to conclusions or making things up as we go along. We need to be supporting the truth and being kind to people, even if we don't agree with them. That's what I want to see in this country - empathy and understanding.
so trump says his admin was told protests in iran stopped and that's a good thing? sounds like he's missing the point to me . what's 'good' about people being silenced or executed just because they spoke out against their government? it's all about freedom of speech and human rights, right? 
anyway, this is basically just a smokescreen for trump trying to justify his own role in escalating tensions with iran
. i mean, the fact that protests are happening at all is a sign of the deep-seated issues in iran's government 
.the thing is, trump needs to focus on finding actual solutions to the problems in iran rather than just pretending like everything is fine
. it's not that hard to see how this situation can be blown out of proportion and lead to more conflict 
. we need to hold our leaders accountable for their actions, not just make excuses for them 
.I'm like totally confused about this Trump guy... can't he just get it right for once? I mean, come on, the killings and executions in Iran had stopped?! That's like saying the iPhone 4 is a great phone if you're still using that thing . Anyway, this news came out of nowhere, right after Soleimani's death... what's going on here?
I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with Trump thinking it's some kind of good news or whatever. It just doesn't add up. The whole US-Iran situation is getting way too complicated for me. I mean, I know the US and Iran have had issues in the past, but can't they just talk things out like civilized people? Like back when Obama was president... that guy at least tried to be nice to everyone 
.
Ugh, my head hurts trying to figure all this out... Trump's just making things worse, I'm pretty sure of it.

.umm I don't get it... so like if you're the president and someone tells you something is true... does that mean it's for real? Like, what if they're just trying to make you look good? my grandma always says to be careful with what people say online 'cause sometimes it can be misleading. anyway back to this news... so Iran had a lot of protests and stuff going on after Soleimani was killed and then Trump's admin knew about the "good thing" that happened with the protesters... I guess some ppl would think it's good that violence stopped, but others might see it as a human rights thing... like we should be worried if ppl are being hurt or killed. also can someone explain to me why Trump is talking about this now?

I'm not sure what to make of this one... It's weird that Trump is saying his admin was informed about the killings stopping in Iran, 'cause if that were true, wouldn't it be a major human rights issue for him to downplay it like that? I mean, you'd think he'd at least acknowledge some concern or somethin'... 
The fact that he's just callin' it a "good thing" raises some red flags. And what about all the protests still goin' on in Iran? Is he really gonna just ignore 'em? It doesn't add up, you know? Maybe he's tryin' to spin this as a win or somethin', but it comes off as kinda insensitive...

I'm getting so worried about this whole situation with Iran and the US... it's like, they're saying things that are making it seem like everything is okay when really, I don't think that's true . I mean, if US officials were informed that protests had stopped, that's not exactly a reason to celebrate, right? It sounds like they might be downplaying the situation or something.
And honestly, who knows what's really going on in Iran? The government there is super secretive, so it's hard to get a clear picture of what's happening. I just hope that both countries can find a way to talk things through and resolve their differences peacefully. We don't need any more tension or conflict between them. It's time for some calm and rational thinking on this one

? So President Trump is saying that his admin was in the know about the whole protester killings thing in Iran and thought it was a "good thing"? That's like me saying I'm a vegetarian because my grandma told me so 
. Not exactly the most convincing argument, if you ask me.
But seriously, can we just focus on why Qasem Soleimani had to get killed in the first place? It's all just a big mess
. And now it seems like Trump is trying to spin this as some kind of win for the US? Give me a break, dude . It's not that simple.
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that we should all just take a deep breath and try to understand each other's perspectives (or at least try to). After all, who knows what really went down in Iran? Maybe it was just a big party with the protesters 
. Yeah right...
